The debate wall[4] allows users to watch and vote for short videos from different sources on the topic in question.

The talks filmed at these conferences are then published on the WikiStage website and YouTube[5] to ensure unlimited, free access.

The short talks of three, six or nine minutes[8] each address a specific topic and cover questions ranging from history and philosophy to genetics, and jazz.

Up until July 2016, seventy events have been held at institutions like the Chamber of Commerce in Nouakchott, Mauretania,[13] Stanford University[14] and the Worldbank.

The local organiser designs the program of the event, records the talks and performances, then edits and uploads them to the WikiStage YouTube channel and website.
